Hi Jenny –
Just stopping by to read your review of Alias Hook.

Nice review with well pointed out pluses and negatives.

I have to disagree with you about the Neverland mythology – It worked for me where as I often have trouble suspending my belief for a lot of fantasy. I particularly liked that Hook was sent to Neverland because of his childish behaviors giving the book a sort of unifying theme. I didn’t include my thoughts on the child theme in my review because I did not want to give too much away. Always a point of contention for me when writing a review since I hate spoilers.

Regardless I have my fingers crossed about the sequel. Lisa Jensen has a lot to work with considering the ending for Alias Hook.

Thanks for stopping by my blog! Now to nose around your blog a bit more.

In reply to Gin Jenny. Watching it now will be a bit melancholy, since it stars Robin Williams.

This sounds great! I think I may have to retread Peter Pan to fully understand it, though. I could see it being fantastic if I am familiar enough with the story again to see all the links.

What a brilliant idea to have a TBR spreadsheet. What a genius you are, Jenny!

In reply to Charlie. Really? Well, you're not missing that much if you don't read it, I promise. It's a very silly book. Also pretty sexist. Also pretty racist.

In reply to Athira. Honestly, Peter Pan's not that great. You've probably absorbed enough through pop culture osmosis to understand what this book's talking about.
